Before this change, the notify_credentials management command ran for
about 10-15 minutes and occasionally overlapped with an edxapp
deployment which would cause the machine the command was running
on to die. The command ran through a bunch of certs and grades, and then
spun off celery tasks to send the relevant data to credentials.
Now, most of the logic of the notify_credentials management command has
been moved into a new celery task, so that combing through longs lists
of certs and grades is done asynchronously. This task then spins off the
original data-sending tasks as before.
Note that this requires a change in alerting: where the jenkins job
would previously notify us about failures, we need to know when this
new celery task fails for any reason. We’ve made this a LoggedTask
so that failures will be logged to Splunk and alerting can be built off
of the error messages.
This commit also moves the relevant tests.

The learner records feature had to be enabled/disabled via site-specific
configuration models, which is inconvenient for platforms that want to
disable this feature globally. Here, we introduce a
ENABLE_LEARNER_RECORDS feature toggle in the lms/cms settings that makes
it possible to disable this feature on all sites. Because this feature
toggle is set to True by default, this will not modify the behaviour of
existing platforms.
